Based Breakouts

@ReviewsPossum Ken griffin said it was teachers, nurses, and fire fighters who got hurt when he lost money

If I buy a stock that's worth ten dollars, and then it goes up in value to a hundred dollars, who did I steal from?

@RealPeterLinder Money printing

Not my area of expertise but I don’t see why US stock markets are rising almost daily with the damage the recent and continuing indefinitely, the high oil prices will do to all US industries outside the oil sector. And add on strongly rising inflation. Stagflation on the way.

@Tazerface16 So long as its National

Dear MAGA, you do understand that Trump bailing out Spirit Airlines is socialism, correct?

@rickjeff78 What if it end? Iran just reopened its airspace

Two reasons airlines are my short: - You can't print jet fuel. - Flying demand is ultra sensitive to world conflict. United, American, and Delta have the most international flights in the world. If this goes on, and I think it will, they will be battered.

@Investmentkage In hyper inflation it is

This is not normal. It’s not very often a 36% gain happens in the S&P 500 in one year. It happens, but it’s not normal.

@MurrayHillGuy1 If he was rich rich and in shape you would be begging her to marry him

The age gap debate is tough. Tough to make a solid moral case against older guys dating younger women. If I were 42, single, rich, and in shape, I’d probably be going for girls in their 20s. But if I had a daughter in her 20s dating a 42-year-old, I’d lose my mind. Double standard?

@ThinkAppraiser This is why art is so expensive

Do billionaires hold tens of millions in cash at banks? (Considering it’s a tiny fraction of their net worth) Do they not care about being over the FDIC limits? Do they just have so much money that it doesn’t matter?

@mattyglesias Fuck it why not simplify the entire industry, consolidate all the airlines into one business. Prices will surely fall if we can eliminate competition.

What is the point of this? If Spirit is liquidated it’s not like the airplanes vanish … let the profitable airlines buy them and hire pilots to fly them and expand service

@ThinkAppraiser Spanish language, tax, law, notary, wite transfer business.

Retail professionals, what goes best here between a liquor store and a donut shop in the hood?

@eterps @donnelly_brent They still exist. Prop trading firms are what they call them now to sound more legitimate. The business is exactly the same just online now.

@donnelly_brent Bring back bucket shops so kids can have a real shoulder to cry on when they lose it all.

Gen Alpha says 0DTEs Gen Z says stonks Millennials say spooz Gen X says Qs Boomers say Dow Silent Generation says blue chips Gilded Age crowd says bucket shops

@King01011973 @donnelly_brent They call them prop firms today. Same business just online now

@donnelly_brent What's a bucket shop?

@donnelly_brent I have never said spooz

@dirtcheapbanks He was an idiot. $44,000 put in the S&P 500 in 1978 would have been worth $11 million today.

In 1978, an accountant at a lumber mill in southern Alabama bought 4,000 shares of the local community bank at $11 a share. He was 34 years old. He read one book about investing in his entire life. He bought it used for 60 cents at a church rummage sale. He read it twice. He underlined three sentences. He bought the bank because it traded for less than the value of its building, and the building was on the town square, and the town square was not going anywhere. He never sold. He never bought another stock. He never opened a brokerage account. The shares sat in a manila envelope in a filing cabinet in his basement for 46 years. The bank paid a dividend every quarter. He deposited the checks at the same bank. The tellers knew him by name. When his wife died, the bank sent flowers. When his son got married, the bank president came to the wedding. He retired in 2009. He lived on the dividends. The dividends were enough. In 2024, a regional holding company acquired the bank for 1.9x tangible book value in an all cash deal. He was 80 years old. The check was for $2.3 million. He did not know what to do with it. He put it in a savings account at the acquiring bank. The savings account paid 0.4%. His grandson, who worked at a hedge fund, called him and tried to explain index funds. He listened politely. When the call ended, he went outside and sat on the porch. The lesson is not that he was smart. He was not smart. He was patient, and patient is rarer than smart, and patient compounds. There are 4,100 banks like this one still trading in America today. Most of them will be acquired in the next 15 years. The people who will get rich from those acquisitions are not at hedge funds. They are accountants at lumber mills who read one book and never sold.

@InvestingAddict Gotta carry the 1

I just added up every single stock in the S&P 500 and it was way more than 7,138. Am I missing something?

@Citizens4STL Pedestrian experience? I was in st louis one. Shocked by how bombed out and awful the city was. Like literally looked like 1945 europe.

PHOTOS: If or when data centers are approved in downtown St. Louis, please consider the pedestrian experience. These photos depict the new data center on Locust near Jefferson. All the windows at the ground level have been replaced with metal panels. This is near Schlafly Tap Room, Energizer Park, many residential lofts & more. #Citizens4STL @MikeLKehoe @SLMPD @MitchellMcCoy @CFDstlfd @saintlouismayor @saintlouispres @SLDCmo @DevelopStLouis @AlderSheenBean @JamiCMichele @LishaLiberty @shanecohn @VDanielaV @Schweitzer88 @OldenburgSTL @STL4Ward @schubbard10 @boydstuff @GreaterSTLinc @CommerceBank @enterprisecares @Cardinals @horseshoestl @Advantes @UnionStationSTL @HiltonBallpark @AquariumSTL @Stifel @SchnuckMarkets @DowntownStLouis @stlcid @carolinehecker @charliekmox @andybankertv @rlippmann @solomonreports @DavidAmelottiTV @MarkMaxwellTV @ChrisHayesTV @RyanWKrull

@iBladesi Pussy

$CAR i will not sell the 2dte 1140c for 44.. I will not. The best play is to not play.

@Truthdesenutz @brent_e_trader @SlopeOfHope Sadly didn’t catch $250 oh well

@brent_e_trader Few made money on the way up (SRS pentwater Jane ST) , few made money on the way down. 1110 calls traded 250 at the open, insane. I made then lost on short options from 400-500s. Maybe @SlopeOfHope got in today? He said he would watch as it could go much higher but maybe today ?

$CAR a few traders today knew before the rest of the public that Avis was going to announce their earnings date after-hours today - VERY UNFAIR. As I predicted, this short squeeze needed an end date and earnings was the most likely catalyst.

@RealSimpleAriel @Avis They work for the fund. The avis guy got “retired” and replaced with a manchurian candidate

If the $CAR C-Suite hasn't been looking to actively dilute shares during this run up they all deserve to be fired. @Avis

@stevenplace Idk bruh selling $1140c for $20k a contracts pretty sick

$XTN might be the best instrument to fade $CAR a good amount of the etf price movement has been related to a single stock run and you can buy $XTN options at a 40% vol instead of 400%

@WifeFinance What the fuck are you talking about? Im a travel agent for wealthy families. They blow your annual salary on a weekend ski trip like its nothing. They dont waste fucking time pretending its a work trip the savings is nothing to them

The wealthy never take family vacations. Look it up, it’s a fact? Why? Because the flights, the hotels, and meals…no deduction, no return, just a pile of receipts the IRS doesn’t care about. So what do they do? They don’t take “vacations” they take “family council retreats”. Same destination, same table at dinner, same hotel but now you’re meeting with perspective investors, you’re running a quarter board meeting with your family office, you’re doing due diligence. Suddenly everything changes. Flights? 100% deductible. Hotel? 100% deductible. Meals? 50% deductible. The IRS doesn’t tax creativity, it rewards it.
